On behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, thank you to the Carol Woods Community,
including the Charitable Fund Board and your full Board of Directors, for your generous donation of $175,000
to Orange County. Given Carol Woods' exemption from property taxes, your gift is particularly noteworthy.
We are very fortunate to have such good neighbors as the Carol Woods community, which for years
has made significant and repeated contributions to the betterment of Orange County and its seniors. We
expect this gift will help improve the lives of older adults through the implementation of the Master Aging Plan
in the coming year.
We understand that this pledge shall not be construed as an amount to anticipate in the future.
look forward to speaking at your Resident Association Meeting on January 8t", as did Commissioner
Bernadette Pelissier last year. We will gladly come annually to let you know how your contribution has helped
Orange County.
Again, thank you again on behalf of the residents of Orange County for your continued generosity.
